Measuring contaminant transport rates between water and sediments using limnocorrals

Abstract: Radiotracers injected as soluble salts into 1.2 m 3 limnocorrals in a shallow dystrophic lake were transported rapidly (2 to 12% d -) from the water to the bottom sediments. Removal rates of most contaminants declined after 14 days. Tracers were removed from the water much more rapidly than stable element analogs present naturally. After 3 weeks Am, Co, Ra, Hg, Sn and Fe activities on the enclosure walls were greater than 15% of the activity in the water. However, activity on the walls was a small fraction (< … Show more

“…These rates are slightly lower than the loss rates of all the other radiotracers added (3 to 12% d" 1 )[15], except 22 Na (loss rate 1-1.8% d -1 )[13] and "Tc. The rates of radioiodine transport are very similar to those measured in two other whole-lake experiments.…”
